UP-UP Dark Cherry is one of life's tiny treasures combining the fineness of their insignia dark chocolate Single Estate 50% cacao content, alongside well-defined notes of candied sweet cherries; with a soft-bitter taste and a hint of spring time, this chocolate bar is an allegory of pleasure.
Grown on a single-estate, this chocolate from Up-Up is 100% traceable and the first "certified slave free chocolate" (see more below).
El Rosario farm is in Necoclí, a town in Antioquia, Colombia. It’s located on the eastern shore of the Gulf of Urabá. Before cacao, El Rosario was a cattle ranch on almost 500 acres. It managed 500 cows, and only needed four to six employees to function. Going from cattle to cocoa planting meant a considerable change. There were no longer a just few ranch hands, more and more hands were needed. The initial 400 hectares of cocoa ended up generating more than 250 jobs. The change brought better income and higher quality of life. El Rosario is an example of the impact chocolate can have on communities, and how chocolate crafted at origin can create value.
